Hal Martin's Watch & Jewelry

I signed up for Citysearch just to write a review about Hal Martin's because I believe so strongly in their business and how they run it. I have been a regular and frequent customer and friend since I first walked into their store in 2006, and since then I have purchased 4 Rolexes for myself and 3 Rolexes for my family. I've also purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of custom jewelry (perfect platinum/diamond engagement and wedding rings, a diamond necklace and earrings, diamond upgrades for several of the Rolexes and other things). Please don't let the term "pre-owned Rolex" scare you. Anyone can walk into a mall jeweler and pay 2x-5x retail for a watch or jewelry item, but this place is truly for the savvy and educated consumer who can afford to pay anything but chooses to spend wisely on luxury goods. For example, if you came in looking for a new 18k gold Rolex Day-Date (AKA "The Presidents"), who else would show you that the watch had only changed minimally since the early 1980s and then offer you a LESS EXPENSIVE older model (in excellent shape - fully restored with no scratches anywhere, new sapphire crystal, new hands/dial and tight-as-new bracelet) over a MORE EXPENSIVE newer model? Of course they have both, but why waste money on the same thing? Take my advice that I've already given all my friends - GO SEE TARANG FOR ALL OF YOUR WATCH AND JEWELRY NEEDS!!! He will make you and your friends and family very happy. If you want/need a lady's opinion, ask Barbara - she will be happy to give you her honest feedback, even if it means steering you toward a less expensive option. Mickey is their exceptional watchmaker who knows everything about every watch and can do anything, and he will always be happy to talk to you about your watch. These are real people, folks, who will do ANYTHING to help you make the right choice for YOU and you only. I am a loyal customer for life. I encourage you to give them a try - they'll make you happy every time.

I have bought two pieces of jewelry for my wife from Hal Martin's. I got tremendous deals on both. Tarang is extremly competive on prices, particularly if you are buying diamonds he received from trade-in. They are great with helping you find the right gift. Between the prices and the service I highly recommend Hal Martin's.

I am so impressed by Hal Martin's. In a world where so few businesses seem to care at all about their reputation, this jewelry and watch repair business understands that people are what being successful is all about. I live pretty far from their location, but for something as important as a jewelry purchase or the need for a vital service, it is definitely worth it to make the drive.

I work at a very large high school in the Humble area. Recently, I received a call from Suzanne at Hal Martin's asking if a ring that had been found could have come from our school. Working together, we were able to locate the student in question. He was so happy that his ring had been found. Michael Bullock, took great care to repair the damage to the ring and give it a spectacular polish. The ring was then delivered to my office and I returned it to the young man who was eagerly awaiting its arrival. As a mother who has purchased 3 class rings for my own children, I know the monetary value of a class ring as well as the sentimental attachment.

If Hal Martin's is wiling to go to this much trouble for someone they have never even seen, just imagine what they will do for you!

A fantastic shoutout to Tarang and the people at Hal's!

In minutes Tarang found a new Panerai Arktos watch that I had spent months searching for; with only 500 units I wonder how many new watches even exist? I was so giddy (and guilty that I bought the watch on my wife's birthday) that I also bought my wife some diamond earrings. Unbelievably she wanted to return them becasue they were too BIG! Tarang handled the return with the professionalism that he demonstrated in the sales process.

I'll be using Hal Martin's for all my jewelry needs going forward.

I just received my custom made wedding band to go with my custom made ring! It looks AWESOME! I can't wait to wear them together in 6 weeks! Tarang and Barb went so far out of their way to help my fiance design my ring. It is so incredibly perfect for me I can even describe it. Tarang even made the wedding band to fit in with the style of my ring. Thanks don't even begin to cover what they've done for us! We would so us Hal Martins again for any of our jewelry/watch purchases!
